ANDREY MIKHAILOVICH SAMOZVANTSEV (1949-2009)
On December 26, 2009, barely reaching the age of sixty (born November 20, 1949), Andrey Mikhailovich Samozvantsev died suddenly. The external outline of his life was uncomplicated. He studied at the Department of Ancient World History of the Moscow State University Faculty of History (1967-1972) and here acquired the habit of scrupulous work with sources. The supervisor of the thesis on "Arthashastra" was E.
